We made it to another Royals Round-Up, and I, for one, AM DELIGHTED. It does go without saying that I need to know where that baby is, Meghan and Harry!!!!!!!
In case you missed it earlier this week: We got VERY CUTE photos of Prince Louis on the occasion of his first birthday! Also, Kate and Harry went to ANZAC Day services at Westminster Abbey yesterday. Oh: Also, Easter happened! (Easter feels like a long time ago now.)
Elsewhere:
Omid Scobie reports that Harry and Meghan’s Alleged Move to Somewhere on the Continent of Africa is actually more like “a couple of trips” or “a few months,” which makes more sense to me given — as he notes — all their UK patronages. (Plus elderly Granny, etc.) I guess truth will out!
ALSO at Harper’s, a report that Wills and Kate popped by to see Meghan on Easter at Frogmore. I hope this is all true!
Sigh. So, Trump is coming for a State Visit to the UK this summer — although he’s not being allowed to stay at Buckingham Palace, as it’s undergoing renovations (they’ve got 776 rooms but in fairness the guest quarters may be a disaster). [New York Times]
Wills is in Christchurch visiting victims of the horrific act of terrorism that occurred there on March 15th; for some reason, we haven’t gotten a lot of photos of this visit, as I noted in the slideshow. Town & Country has coverage of the speech he gave at Al Noor Mosque, as well as more photos of his visit.
Interesting! The Real Story Behind How the World’s Largest Rough Diamond Was Cut for the Queen’s Crown Jewels. [People]
In the arena of Royal Media Logistics,Lainey talked today about how the lingering affair rumors started up on Twitter again yesterday, and how the Palace’s media plan, logistically, is maybe out of touch with the current world and that’s why they’re not going away; I’m glad for the confirmation that there actually WAS no new intel there because I couldn’t figure out why it popped up again. (I know we talked about this a bit yesterday as well, in the Kate and Harry post, because I could not parse why it started trending again.)
